Bindi Irwin and husband Chandler Powell to star in new documentary about her pregnancy
Steve Irwin’s daughter Bindi Irwin will star in a new television special about her pregnancy and newborn baby girl.
Bindi, 22, gave birth to Grace Warrior Irwin Powell on March 25, on the anniversary of her wedding to husband Chandler Powell.
Allowing cameras into their home as they prepared to welcome their daughter, the couple will now star in an upcoming series of Crikey! It’s The Irwins, as well as a one-off special called Crikey! It’s a Baby.
The name of the show is in honour of her late father Steve’s catchphrase as he investigated and looked after wild animals.
Crikey! It’s a Baby will follow Bindi as she breaks the news to her mother Terri and brother Robert for the first time, and all the preparations made in the run up to the birth.
The animal-loving Australian family will all feature in the series, and will lead up to the run up to Grace’s birth.
Announcing the family’s arrival last week, Bindi said she celebrated the ‘two loves of her life’ on the same day, and explained the heartwarming meaning behind her little girl’s name.
‘Grace Warrior Irwin Powell. Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light,’ she wrote.
‘Grace is named after my great-grandmother, and relatives in Chandler’s family dating back to the 1700s.
‘Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior.
‘Her last name is Powell and she already has such a kind soul just like her dad.
‘There are no words to describe the infinite amount of love in our hearts for our sweet baby girl. She chose the perfect day to be born and we feel tremendously blessed.’
